Parking Aid Audible Alert

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The entertainment system volume is reduced when the park aid warning tone sounds. The frequency of the tones from the audio speakers increases as the vehicle moves closer to the object. When the object is within 305 mm (12 in) of the bumper, the tone becomes continuous. When the vehicle stops moving, the continuous tone stops after 3 seconds. Objects to the rear side generate a continuous tone for 3 seconds if the object is stationary or receding from the vehicle. The tone starts again if the object moves closer to the vehicle. The tone is prioritized to the system (front or rear) that has detected the closest object to the bumper. The tone alternates between front and rear audio speakers if an object is closer than 254 mm (10 in) front and rear.
